It would be unfortunate to loose either of these teams, however the city can't keep taking a hit. The Growlers were middle of the pack in terms of attendance last year while the Edge had the highest. Unless the Growlers can somehow bump up their attendance numbers, both the city and the team will be at an impasse. Scheduling and cost of travel doesn't help out either. I haven't been to a Growlers game but my son and I have gone to a few Edge games. I found it to be very entertaining and very kid friendly. Hopefully something can be worked out here. With every sports team we loose it becomes increasing difficult to attract another.
